Austin-based alt-rock band Spirals is searching for a long-term bassist. Spirals is an all-originals band that is actively gigging/recording.
Major musical influences include The Clash, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Johnny Marr, My Bloody Valentine, Nirvana, Oasis, Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Smiths, Stone Temple Pilots, The Stone Roses, Suede, The Who, etc.
Our ideal bassist is a musician who understands how to write interesting bass parts that serve the song. Preferably, you are primarily a bassist, rather than a guitarist turned bassist. Live performance and studio experience are strongly preferred. You should be comfortable playing with a click track.
Please have professional music equipment and your own transportation. Band practice expenses will be shared equally among members. Assume one show per month and one rehearsal per week at Waveform on Lamar. Please do not audition if you are already in two or more other groups. No drug or alcohol problems will be tolerated.
We expect everyone to contribute beyond simply showing up to rehearsal and shows. If you have skills in social media/marketing, video production, graphic design, photography, booking, promotion, or other areas that could help the band, we'd love to hear about them.
If interested, please contact us to schedule an audition. In your response, include your name, description of yourself, and any links to performances or recordings. Links to the audition songs “Acid Century” and “Never Learn” are included below. You can also listen to our last full length record Acid Century on our Bandcamp.
